Grilling and salads. That’s what I’m doing, lately. This was a last minute marinade that came together with stock pantry items and had nice flavor. It’s nothing wild or over-the-top, so it’s pretty kid friendly, but had nice flavor which I attribute to my substitution of fresh, minced garlic instead of garlic salt. The fresh garlic gives a bigger flavor punch while also reducing sodium in the finished product.

I served this with Harvest Grains Blend by Trader Joe’s and a green salad for a light, tasty dinner that didn’t involve heating up my kitchen in this desert heat. If you’re bored with chicken (I completely understand that), I think this marinade would work nicely with pork, shrimp, or fish, as well. Enjoy!
